When it is set too low, or mute, i can't receive any TMC channel. The HTC radio isn't a very good radio, so when i'm in a building, the reception is bad, but when i get out of the building, or get near a window, the tmc signal is back again.

I can start/stop/start/stop/start IGO as many times as i want, it always works (after IGO scans for the TMC hardware everytime again). I can start/stop/start/stop the driver as many times as i want, i never had any problem yet.

On my device the beta1 version is very stable, tested it for hours.

Thanks to the builders! Very impressive!!!

Hi creda, judging from your name I think you live in the same city as I do (breda) in Holland.

What ROM's (OS + radio) are you using ?

I'm on Macadam V1.2 and radio 1.09.25.23.

And I''m using iGO 8.3.2.80621

I can scan using the tool and set radio channel to 100.4 but in iGo it keeps on scanning and always gives the message "no TMC sign.".

Yes, indeed SPEEDME, i'm from Sittard, Holland.

I'm using ROM version 1.14.404.3 NLD, radio version 1.09.25.14. Stock ROM.

I often had the same problem with the "no tmc sign", in my case it had to do with bad reception of my internal fm-radio. THE RECEPTION OF THE FM-RADIO OF MY HTC TOUCH HD IS REALLY BAD! I had to make a 3,5jack plug with a long cable which i can tie up to the rear view of the car to use as an antenna.

Try this:

Test the radio before activate the TMC driver. Make sure the radio is not muted and the volume is set to a high value. Try to receive Radio 1 (98,9 in Breda) of BNR (has speedcams, 91,5 in Breda i think). Make sure you can receive this station, if not, go to a location where you can receive it. If you have no reception, it is useless to try IGO TMC.

Make sure that in the TMC Driver settings, COM Port=COM9,FM Band=CCIR 87,5-108 MHz, Data output=TMC Data, Mute Radio=Tuned Sound.

Make sure in \igo8\save\settings.ini of \igo8\sys.txt: saved_config_classname, saved_config_portname and saved_config_port are not set! If these are set, the TMC hardware is configured automatically, but you will always see: no tmc sign.

Don't remove the antenna (headphone). Start IGO, go to settings, tmc and scan for TMC hardware. If the hardware is found (Royaltek, com=9) set "Automatische zenderkeuze". IGO should find 98,9 when the reception is ok. What i found out is that the testing, IGO does, is to fast, sometimes you have to set the frequency manually. IGO is going to the next frequency already, before a TMC signal is received.

To set the frequency manually: uncheck "Automatische Zenderkeuze" and leave IGO.

Put saved_last_frequency="989" in your \igo8\save\settings.ini.

Startup IGO, IGO will now be on channel 98,9. Sometimes it takes a little time for IGO to find our there is a TMC signal on the channel.

BUT ALWAYS: ENSURE YOUR RECEPTION IS OK AND THE FM-RADIO VOLUME IS NOT MUTED!
